Answer
Exam answer
(d) Sarajevo Crisis.
Explanation
Distinguish the underlying causes from the immediate one. Imperialism, aggressive nationalism and the armament race built up tension over years; the Sarajevo Crisis — the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria by Gavrilo Princip on 28 June 1914 — was the spark that set the war off within weeks. A headline about an assassination therefore points to the immediate cause.
In words
Sarajevo Crisis.
